Decaying positive solutions to some quasilinear differential equations. (English) Zbl 0944.34005
The author deals with the existence of decaying positive solutions $$(u,\lambda)$$ $$(u\in C^1([0,\infty))$$, $$\lambda \in (0,\infty)$$) to the two equations \begin{aligned} D_au+\lambda r^a F(r,u,|u'|)&=0, \qquad r>0,\\ D_au+\lambda r^a F_0(r,u)&=0, \qquad r>0, \end{aligned} with $$D_au = (r^a |u'|^{p-2}u')'$$, $$a>1$$, $$p\in (1,1+a)$$. The existence of solutions to the equations for the subhomogeneous case ($$F(r,tU,t|U'|)/t^{p-1}\to 0$$ as $$t\to \infty$$) enables to prove existence theorems for more general cases using the super-sub-solution method.
